TERRASEM R3 / R4 / C4 / C6 / C8 / C9
The big trailed direct seed drills huge productivity with
working widths of 9.8 or 29.5 / 3.0 or 9.0 metres
The new TERRASEM drills from Pttinger with the unique tyre packer chassis are both compact
and manoeuvrable. These universal machines can be used for both mulch drilling and conventional sowing. All TERRASEM mulch seed drills combine the steps of cultivating, consolidating and
seeding the soil in a 9.8 29.5 / 3.0 9.0 m working width. In addition to the exact distribution
of the seeds by parallel controlled DUAL-DISC double-disc coulters with subsequent depth-guide
press wheels, the machines impress with their unrivalled ground adaptation, central coulter pressure adjustment from 88 and 265 lbs / 40 to 120 kg per coulter, a large-volume seed hopper and
intelligent controls.

TERRASEM R3 / R4

TERRASEM R3 and R4 are available

as rigid working-width models
The demand for more power and efficiency is constantly increasing. The powerful universal machine, TERRASEM, can be economically incorporated into any tillage regime, whether mulch or
conventional drilling. At Pttinger the separate chassis has been replaced by a combined packing and chassis unit. The length of the machine has therefore been greatly reduced. The result:
improved manoeuvrability.

The big trailed TERRASEM

are foldable
The three-part design provides perfect ground adaptation for large working widths. The folding
disc harrow, packer and coulter rail sections follow the contours of the ground. By coupling the
single coulter units via a 3-point linkage on the packer frame, each coulter unit can be adapted to
the contours of the ground.
A four-piece hinge between the coulter rail section and packer ensures that the contours of the
ground are followed exactly along the direction of travel. Wide press wheels control the doubledisc coulters for an even, exact depth positioning.

TERRASEM
The recipe for success

Sowing

Packing

Mounting rened and rapid

The TERRASEM direct
mulch seed drills from
Pttinger feature a top quality compact disc harrow, the
unique packer tyre chassis
and adaptive coulters work
to perfectly coordinate seedbed preparation, packing
and sowing over a working
width of 9.84' to 29.53' / 3.0
to 9.0metres.
Optimised design from the
drawbar to the rear harrow
tines.

The linkage bar has double mounting lugs Cat. II/2 and III/3. A heavy-duty rotary joint with axial
compensation between the linkage bar and the drawbar provides clearance for a turning angle
of up to 90 even with dual wheels or high otation terra tyres.

Seedbed preparation / Tillage

If required, the length of the drawbar can be adjusted by approx. 20"/500 mm. Ideal adaptation to the tractor enables tight cornering at headlands and during transport.
Parking legs and pipe support are standard.
An air or hydraulic brake system is also available to provide enhanced safety at high transport
speeds of up to 24.9 mph / 40 kph.
These equipment specications comply with the legal regulations for road transport.

TERRASEM
Top quality disc harrow
for precision tillage
Professionals expect a level
seedbed with ne soil on top
for uniform seed germination
and plant growth. That is
why Pttinger has integrated
a twin-gang compact disc
harrow for soil preparation.

Twin-gang, smooth running disc harrow tted either with scalloped or plain cultivating discs.
This universal harrow also works well in heavy soil with large quantities of harvest trash. The
maintenance-free, rubber-mounted 20.1" / 510 mm diameter discs loosen the soil on the surface providing a layer of ne-structured earth at seed placement depth.

 The depth of the rst gang can be adjusted independently of the second gang.
The central section is xed and the folding outer sections are each 1.64, 4.92, 8.20 or 9.84' /
0.5, 1.5, 2.5 or 3.0 metres wide with plenty of freedom of movement.
Non-stop mounting system Each disc is mounted on a thick-walled box section beam. Four
rubber elements enable the discs to evade stones and rocks. The concave discs are mounted
on sealed bearings.
The twin-race tapered bearings are sealed with a labyrinth seal for extra reliability.

TERRASEM

Unique tyre packer chassis

The combined packer and
wheel unit is positioned immediately behind the leading
tillage tools.
This optimised mounting geometry and compact design
improves manoeuvrability
at headlands and during
transport.

10

The chassis is tted with wide tyres to consolidate the soil, each tyre pressing ahead of 4 seed
rows.
To protect the soil the machine is supported by all the wheels at headlands. The chassis frame
always remains at the same height, the disc harrow and seed coulter rails are raised.
The offset wheel conguration makes the drill easier to pull and improves the ride during transport. Each wheel can rotate independently when turning thanks to individual wheel mounting.

 On the road the machine is transported on four wheels, the two wheels in the middle are raised
to improve stability.
The transport wheels can be tted with hydraulic or air brakes to ensure safe, reliable braking
even at speeds of up to 25 mph / 40 kph.

Metering system
for highest possible precision
Valuable seed demands
cost-effective operating
systems. All the seed has to
be distributed accurately,
seed rates from 0.52to 312
lbs per acre or from 0.6kg to
350 kg per hectare.

12

The R3 to C6 models have one metering system and the C8 / C9 have two.
The metering wheels for normal or ne seed can be changed quickly and easily to match seed
ow rate.
A reduction gear ensures
that the metering wheel
is always operating in the
ideal speed range.

The TERRASEM metering system is designed for

precise seed distribution.
Exact seed ow-rates regardless of the type of seed
or the working conditions.

The seed wheel is electronically driven and controlled from the tractor via a radar sensor or an
ISOBUS signal.
Innitely variable adjustment of seed quantity from 0.52to 312 lbsper acre or from 0.6kg to
350 kg per hectare from the tractor.
Automatic engagement of seed metering wheel with priming to ensure immediate metering.
Easy calibration with a practical collection bag and the calibration ap is monitored by sensors.
An outlet slide allows all the seed to be discharged from the hopper when emptying.

Fan and distributor heads

A high volume of air and low
air velocity protect the seed
against damage and prevent
rubbing off of the dressing.
Together with the precision
metering system and large
distributor heads, this system delivers uniform seed

The oversized fan is driven hydraulically and delivers a high volume of air in the mid-speed
range, so there is little noise during operation.
The high air volume means the fan speed can uctuate without affecting the accuracy of seed
metering.
The R3 to C6 models have one distributor head with a maximum of 48 outlets, the C8 / C9 have
two with 32/ 36 outlets each. The seed is fed to the distributor head evenly via the riser tube
for optimum distribution to the individual rows. The large diameter distributor head guarantees
ideal distribution to the individual rows.

 A servo motor shuts off the tramlines electronically. Valves on the distributor shut off up to
3seed rows for each tramline. The excess seed is returned to the riser tube and the seed ow
rate is reduced accordingly, achieving seed savings of up to 6%.
If desired, seed ow monitoring is available with an optical sensor for each individual row. The
system is triggered if the ow rate (grains/second) falls below theset rate. The operator terminal
indicates which row is blocked.
On the TERRASEM C8 / C9, both distributor heads are automatically hydraulically retracted
during the folding sequence.

Longitudinal seed hopper

Filling the hopper with seed
must be straightforward and
effortless wherever you are.
Thanks to its long seed
hopper, the Pttinger TERRASEM can easily be lled
from the side using a front
loader or auger. The dust
and rainproof seed hopper is
tted with a tarpaulin cover
that rolls up to one side.

16

The cavernous longitudinal seed hopper holds 660 gal / 3000 litres on the R3 to C6, and
880gal/ 4000 l on the C8 / C9.
The roll over tarpaulin cover is both dustproof and rainproof. The cover is rolled clear of the
opening so it cannot be damaged during lling by suspended Big-Bags, for example.
The hopper can be lled using a loader bucket, Big-Bags or auger.
As an option, the R3 to C6 hopper can be increased to 870 gal / 3950 litres and the C8 / C9
hopper to 1122 gal / 5100litres.

 The standard loading platform makes it easy to open the hopper cover and check the progress
of lling.
The spacious toolbox is well protected and integrated into the loading platform.
A grid is tted inside the seed hopper as standard to protect the metering system from foreign
objects.
The hopper level indicator is located underneath the grid to allow drilling to continue right down
to the lowest level.
